We have never seen a more delicioas dinner served, and after all had done the occasion justice, there were more than five basketsful left. All were lively and seemed to enjoy the dinner very much. It looked as if the fountain of the great deep of humanity were broken up and their hearts were stirred within them as they had net been stirred before since the days of their youth. The old people seemed to enjoy it more than any of the others. As the Shadows of evening began to draw near we all returned to our respective homes much refreshed indeed. We wish for those aged people the return of many a merry Christmas. And may they yet live to hear many a song sung to the praise, honor and glory of the God of Eternal Day. A S C.
